Not to be confused with Titans half Tyrone Roberts. The 19-year-old outside back and Australian Schoolboys representative is said to have a similar playing style to his cousin, Brisbane speedster James Roberts.

MANLY - BRIAN KELLY

Massive opportunities stand before the former Titan. He's a red-hot chance to come into Trent Barrett's backline.

The Australian Schoolboys representative starred for Burleigh in last year's Queensland Cup. The playmaker was chased by several clubs and signed a two-year deal with Parramatta.

PENRITH - TYRONE MAY

The Junior Kangaroo made the under-20s team of the year at five-eighth but is versatile enough to play most positions. Played in back-to-back under-20s grand finals.

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA - JAI FIELD

A shock contender for the Dragons halfback spot. He's been told to add bulk over the pre-season but the 19-year-old speed demon will be suited to the nines.

SOUTH SYDNEY - TYRELL FUIMAONO

The Rabbitohs snuck under Parramatta's guard to snare his signature. Big enough to play second row and mobile enough to slot in at centre.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS - JOHNNY TUIVASA-SHECK

Being the younger brother of Warriors skipper Roger, you know what to expect - blinding speed and sensational footwork. At 100kg and 180cm he's already bigger than RTS and scored the winning try in last year's under-20s grand final.
